I Unlocked Beast Language and Became a Bigshot After My Rebirth! Chapter 31

Standoff

Xia Xin had already spoken, and Jing Mo did not press further. The two of them, along with the dog, walked into the residential area. Feeling a bit awkward without anything to say, Xia Xin casually asked, “Why are you still out walking the dog so late?”

Jing Mo paused for a moment and looked at Bobo. He said, “The servants and nannies don't want to walk it.”

Xia Xin fell silent too. She thought, ‘It seemed that Bobo's temperament was not very good, and the wild nature of huskies was notorious for turning dog walks into a struggle. Looks like only Jing Mo could manage Bobo.'

“But you must be very busy with work, right?” Xia Xin asked again.

Jing Mo nodded slightly and said, “Yes. So I can't take it out every day either. There's nothing I can do.”

Though Jing Mo's tone did not reveal any emotions, Xia Xin could still sense his subtle helplessness and guilt.

Large dogs have a lot of energy, and their owners must take them out for walks to release energy and reduce stress. The dogs also need regular exercise to maintain a healthy physique; otherwise, they might gain weight, which was not good for their bones and muscles.

Soon, Xia Xin, Jing Mo, and the dog arrived at Xia Xin's doorstep. As she opened the door, she asked Jing Mo casually, “Would you like to have some water?”

Xia Xin knew that inviting a stranger into her home was not a good idea, but Jing Mo had done her such a huge favor today, and he even accompanied her back home. It would seem impolite not even to offer a glass of water.

“I'll pass,” said Jing Mo. He shook his head and then tugged on the dog leash, intending to take Bobo away.

To Jing Mo's surprise, Bobo, who usually looked down on humans, began scratching at Xia Xin's shoe and showed a very reluctant expression. At the same time, it looked at Xia Xin with puppy eyes and made some whimpering sounds.

In Bobo's mind, he was saying, ‘You, man, are you that resistant to beautiful women? Didn't you see a beauty inviting you inside? If you don't go, I still want to go in!'

Although Bobo could not understand human language, he observed Xia Xin's expressions and actions and sensed that she had just invited Jing Mo inside.

Xia Xin did not expect Bobo to be so smart. At the same time, she felt a bit awkward, ‘What should I do now? The passive function of the Beast Language System seemed to have made Bobo develop some good feelings toward me.'

The passive function of the Beast Language System needed close contact with animals to trigger, and Xia Xin had not gotten close to Bobo during their first time meeting at the pet store. Therefore, Bobo did not react unusually back then.

Xia Xin watched as Bobo scraped at her shoe, feeling both amused and exasperated. On the other hand, Jing Mo found Bobo's behavior today really unusual, which was also embarrassing for him. He kicked Bobo's butt harshly and said, “Let's go!”

Bobo, in turn, glared at Jing Mo, whimpering even more loudly.

Xia Xin was startled, quickly squatting down to pat Bobo's head, urging him not to bark. They were in a residential building, and it was already past 10 PM. If Bobo kept barking, he would be disturbing the neighbors.

Jing Mo suddenly realized a problem and thought, ‘Why did I walk Xia Xin all the way to her doorstep? I should have left when they were still downstairs.'

After calming Bobo down, Xia Xin said to Jing Mo, “Why not come in for a while…”

Xia Xin thought it was inappropriate to stand awkwardly at her doorstep with Jing Mo and Bobo.

Jing Mo fell silent for a few seconds, then slowly loosened the dog leash. Bobo reacted quickly and immediately climbed up, hopping over and entering Xia Xin's home.

Once inside, Bobo saw Layle, who had been hiding at the bedroom door, and he took a step back, feeling somewhat anxious.

Bobo's emotions did not seem very pleasant at the moment. In his view, ‘How could a beauty like Xia Xin have such an ugly mixed-breed dog? I was at a loss for words about her taste in pets.'

Bobo barked loudly at Layle.

Xia Xin heard it say, “What are you looking at? I saved your master just now. If it wasn't for me, your master would have been bullied by the bad guy! It's fine if you're ugly, but you're useless. I really don't know how you met such a good master. You're really lucky! What are you still doing? Come over and massage my legs!”

Xia Xin was extremely helpless and went over to pick up Layle, leading him into the bedroom. She whispered to Layle, “Layle, that's Bobo. He really helped me just now, but don't take what he said to heart. Don't overthink it, okay? You play in the bedroom for a while, and I'll go talk to Bobo's owner.”
